This tutorial will guide you step by step through the process of installing InfluxDB on Kali Linux. InfluxDB is a high-performance distributed database that is designed to handle large amounts of time-stamped data.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step to install InfluxDB is to add the InfluxDB repository to your system. You need to add the repository details to the sources.list file. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:
echo "deb https://repos.influxdata.com/debian buster stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdb.list
This command will add the InfluxDB repository to your system.
InfluxDB uses GPG keys to verify the integrity of packages. You need to import the InfluxDB GPG key to your system. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo curl -sL https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key | sudo apt-key add -
This command will import the InfluxDB GPG key.
Before installing InfluxDB, you need to update your system. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt update
This command will update your system and ensure that you have the latest versions of all packages installed.
Now that you have added the InfluxDB repository to your system, imported the InfluxDB GPG key, and updated your system, you can install InfluxDB. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install influxdb
This command will install InfluxDB on your system.
After installing InfluxDB, you need to start the InfluxDB service. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo systemctl start influxdb
This command will start the InfluxDB service.
To verify that InfluxDB is working correctly, you can check the status of the InfluxDB service. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo systemctl status influxdb
This command will display the status of the InfluxDB service. If the status is active, it means that InfluxDB is running correctly.
InfluxDB is now installed and running on your Kali Linux system. You can now use InfluxDB to store, query, and analyze time-stamped data.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
